Review on Wireless Self-Locking Onyehn Channel Inching Solution by Tyler Kota

Do not buy Ewelink gadgets until they are fixed

This relay is probably a good device but it is configured for use with eWeLink. Since around 2018 I have found that there is a high probability that your Wi-Fi network does not have the ideal configuration that Ewelink expects to connect. This relay is no exception as I've tried every trick, using configuration mode, disabling the 5GHz band on the router, trying to connect to different hotspot extenders around the house, trying guest networks with or without a to create a simple password, and so on. without ending the connection. I took this relay to work and tried it there and it connected on the first try with no problems, so I know the software expects a very specific network configuration and phone setup in order to connect. So if you think your time is worthless, do it. Use flashed gadgets to work with Tuya/Smart Life apps as they seem to be able to detect and handle all the nuances of different Wi-Fi networks that Ewelinks just can't handle.
